These minimally invasive techniques allow selected gynaecological conditions to be diagnosed or treated using specialized instruments, depending on the patient's clinical findings and suitability for the procedure.
Dr. Chatterjee also works in infertility management, including ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Fertility treatment requires an individualized evaluation of reproductive health, medical history and contributing factors.

High-risk pregnancy management involves specialized monitoring and medical care for pregnancies with increased risks to the mother or baby. Conditions such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, multiple pregnancy and certain pre-existing medical disorders may require additional supervision. Treatment focuses on timely assessment, appropriate investigations and individualized planning for pregnancy and delivery.
Preconception counselling helps individuals and couples prepare for pregnancy by assessing reproductive health, existing medical conditions, medications and lifestyle factors. It may include nutritional advice, folic acid supplementation, vaccination review and screening for relevant health risks. Early counselling supports informed pregnancy planning and helps identify conditions requiring treatment before conception.
Antenatal care involves regular medical assessments throughout pregnancy to monitor maternal health and foetal development. Consultations may include blood pressure measurements, laboratory investigations, ultrasound assessments and screening for pregnancy-related complications. The frequency and type of monitoring depend on gestational age, maternal medical history and individual pregnancy risks.
Normal vaginal delivery is childbirth through the birth canal without a caesarean operation. Obstetric care includes monitoring labour progress, maternal wellbeing and the baby's condition. Pain management and supportive interventions may be provided when appropriate. The safest delivery method depends on the pregnancy, labour findings and any complications.
A caesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. It may be recommended for certain maternal or foetal complications, abnormal placental positioning, obstructed labour or other clinical indications. The decision considers pregnancy circumstances, potential risks and expected benefits.
Laparoscopic gynaecological surgery is a minimally invasive approach using a camera and specialized instruments inserted through small abdominal incisions. It may be considered for selected ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis and other pelvic conditions. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, surgical complexity, previous operations and the patient's overall health.
Hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin camera-equipped instrument passed through the cervix to examine or treat conditions inside the uterine cavity. It may be used for selected uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids or intrauterine abnormalities. The procedure avoids abdominal incisions, although anaesthesia and recovery requirements vary according to the intervention.
Uterine fibroids are usually non-cancerous growths arising from the muscular wall of the uterus. They may cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain or fertility-related concerns. Management ranges from observation and medication to surgical procedures such as myomectomy, depending on symptoms, fibroid characteristics and reproductive plans.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, potentially causing pelvic pain, painful menstruation and fertility difficulties. Treatment may include pain management, hormonal medication and laparoscopic surgery in selected cases. Decisions depend on symptom severity, disease characteristics, reproductive goals and response to previous treatment.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled or complex structures that develop in or on the ovaries. Many resolve without surgery, while others require monitoring or intervention because of symptoms, size or concerning imaging findings. Treatment depends on the patient's age, ultrasound results, clinical presentation and possible complications such as torsion.
An ectopic pregnancy develops outside the uterine cavity, most commonly within a fallopian tube. It can cause serious internal bleeding and requires prompt medical assessment. Treatment may involve careful monitoring, medication or surgery depending on clinical stability and diagnostic findings. Severe abdominal pain, fainting or heavy bleeding requires emergency evaluation.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal and metabolic condition commonly associated with irregular menstruation, excess androgen activity and ovulatory difficulties. Management may include lifestyle changes, menstrual cycle regulation, metabolic risk assessment and fertility-related treatment when required. Care is individualized according to symptoms, medical history and reproductive goals.
Infertility evaluation investigates factors that may affect conception, including ovulation, fallopian tube function, uterine conditions and sperm-related factors. Assessment may involve medical history, hormonal investigations, imaging and semen analysis. Treatment options depend on the identified causes, age, duration of infertility and individual reproductive circumstances.
Ovulation induction uses medications to stimulate or regulate egg development and release in individuals with certain ovulatory disorders. Treatment may involve oral medication or injections, with ultrasound and other monitoring when appropriate. Careful supervision helps assess treatment response and reduce complications, including excessive ovarian stimulation and multiple pregnancy.
Intrauterine insemination is a fertility procedure in which prepared sperm is introduced into the uterus around the time of ovulation. It may be considered for selected fertility conditions after appropriate assessment. Success depends on factors such as age, ovulation, sperm quality and fallopian tube function.
In vitro fertilisation is an assisted reproductive treatment in which eggs are fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, followed by transfer of an embryo into the uterus. It may be considered for selected infertility conditions. Treatment typically involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation and embryo transfer, with outcomes varying between patients.
